A Black man has for the first time spoken publicly about the beating he says he received at the hands of a white Louisiana state trooper who was recently arrested and accused of pummeling the man with a flashlight 18 times in 24 seconds. Bowman says he sustained broken ribs, a fractured arm and other injuries after being dragged from his car by officers and beaten by Trooper Jacob Brown. According to Brown's arrest warrant, the flashlight was equipped with a special tip to break car safety glass and the trooper used it as a baton to hit him. "Don't nobody deserve to get beat with a flashlight," Bowman said. Brown, 30, was arrested last week for his "excessive and unjustifiable actions," in connection to the incident, Louisiana State Police said.
